per Joe:
“A football game really comes down to five or six plays,” Nelson said Tuesday. “And if we make two or three of them, maybe it’s 14-20 with six or seven minutes left in the fourth [quarter], and the game’s a little more interesting.”
For all the strides the Gophers have made offensively this year, the two toughest defenses they’ve faced — Wisconsin and Iowa — combined to surrender only one touchdown against Minnesota.
Now the Gophers are getting ready to play No. 11 Michigan State, which leads the nation in total defense at 236.6 yards allowed per game.
“This is what Big Ten football’s all about,” Nelson said. “You want to play against teams like Michigan State. Last year, they did a great job stopping us on offense, so that’s definitely burned in the back of your mind, too.”
